Cannabis for treatment of cancer.
We urge the UK Government to consider the use of cannabidiol (CBD), the non psychoactive part of the cannabis plant, as an effective cancer treatment,
and note that:
• a UK company, GW Pharmaceuticals is currently marketing Savitex, made from extracts from the cannabis plant, in the UK, for medicinal purposes.
• the granting of such a license proves that the cannabis plant is not harmful to human health
• patients and their families are being needlessly exposed to an unregulated, criminal-controlled economy.
• cancer sufferers who distil the CBD oil at home, are being wrongly criminalised
• there is a huge body of work proving that CBD is a most effective form of cancer treatment
• cancer sufferers urgently need safe access to safe medicine.
